Enhance your RimWorld gear with the Artisan's Touch!
[b]Inspired by the Terraria prefix system — now in RimWorld, complete with the reforge mechanic as a re-roll recipe![/b]
[i]Artisan Touch adds affixes to weapons and apparel. In this mod, affixes always appear as prefixes (before the item name, unless is changed), following the familiar Terraria-style convention.[/i]
Bring your RimWorld weapons and apparel to life with Artisan Touch!
Add personality, power, and style through prefixes that modify stats, improve gear quality, and make every item feel unique.
From the Quick Revolver of a skilled gunslinger to the Juggernaut Armor of a fearless warrior — every prefix changes how weapons, armor, and tools perform.
[b]Balanced for vanilla RimWorld gameplay — place this mod last in your load order for best compatibility.[/b]

How does the Artisan's Touch prefix system work?
The higher a colonist’s Crafting skill, the better the tier your gear can roll.
By default, any weapon or apparel with at least [i]Excellent[/i] quality can receive a prefix if the crafter has Crafting level 15 or higher.
[b]Each prefix comes in one of four tiers:[/b]
[list]
[*] Tier I – Legendary exclusive. Maximum bonuses, perfect for end-game weapons and armor. Requires Crafting level 20.
[*] Tier II – Strong improvements. Requires Crafting 19+, Masterwork quality or higher.
[*] Tier III – Moderate but useful boosts. Requires Crafting 17+.
[*] Tier IV – Small bonuses or minor drawbacks. Requires Crafting 15+.
[/list]
[b]Number of prefixes by item quality:[/b]
[list]
[*] Legendary → Up to 3 prefixes
[*] Masterwork → Up to 2 prefixes
[*] Excellent or lower (down to Normal) → 1 prefix
[*] Poor or Awful → 0 prefixes
[/list]
High-quality gear in the hands of skilled crafters will always roll the best and most prefixes possible.
Unhappy with your prefix? Just re-roll it!
RimWorld apparel can be re-rolled at the Electric Tailoring Bench, and weapons at the Electric Smithy.
Perfect for fine-tuning your Legendary or Masterwork gear.
You can disable prefix in the config as well

FAQ
[b]What's the difference between Infused and Infusion 2?[/b]
Artisan Touch stays close to vanilla RimWorld gameplay without perks, abilities, or flashy effects (like Infusion 2).
Instead, it focuses on pure stat modifiers, inspired by Terraria’s prefix system, but tied directly to colonist Crafting skill and item quality.
Prefixes are guaranteed — not fully random like Infused — and the re-roll recipe is available from day one, similar to Terraria’s Goblin Tinkerer.
[b]Does this mod add new items or recipes?[/b]
No extra gear clutter. Only two recipes exist: re-roll for apparel and re-roll for weapons.
[b]Can I control which prefixes appear?[/b]
Yes. The settings menu lets you toggle individual prefixes, control counts by quality, and set tier rules (Tier spawning for quality, ammount of prefix per quality, Tier access by pawn skill level).
[b]Is it safe to add mid-save?[/b]
Yes. Adding Artisan Touch to a current save is safe. Removing it will only strip prefixes from gear.
[b]How do I re-roll a prefix?[/b]
- Apparel → Electric Tailoring Bench
- Weapons → Electric Smithy
Silver cost depends on the current tier.
[b]Can I make my own prefixes?[/b]
Yes!
